Equation
As printed (Eq. (14), additive constraints)
Wa = Ws + Wb + Wf + εa; Wt = Wr + Ws + Wb + Wf + εt
In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Aboveground biomass = exp(-3.7411 + 1.8314 * ln(D) + 1.0978 * ln(H)) + exp(-2.1509 + 2.9966 * ln(D) - 1.5016 * ln(H)) + exp(-2.5753 + 2.4388 * ln(D) - 1.1785 * ln(H))D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H- Total tree height, m
Dahurian larch, MS-3: the paper defines this total as the sum of its component equations (Eq. 14 constraints), with coefficients of the component rows in Table 6; the expression is that sum, not a separately printed formula. Stem includes bark; roots exclude fine roots <5 mm.
